In an interview with CNN, HRC went right at Trump. When asked directly if Trump was qualified to be president, Clinton didn’t hesitate a second and said he was not! Now most of us wouldn’t have hesitated either, in fact there are a lot of Republicans who’ve come out and said it, but for a presidential candidate to say their opponent isn’t qualified for the job, as Joe Biden would say, that’s a big F@#$%^g deal!
"When you run for president of the United States, the entire world is listening and watching," Clinton told CNN's Chris Cuomo during an exclusive interview in Chicago. "So when you say you're going to bar all Muslims, you're sending evidence to the Muslim world, and you're also sending a message to terrorist ... Donald Trump is essentially being used as a recruiter for more people to join the cause of terrorism."
She added, "Based on the way he has behaved and how he has spoken and the policies he has ... thrown out there, I think it adds up to a very troubling picture."
When asked about the possible terrorist attack on an Egyptian flight today:
"It reinforces the need for American leadership -- the kind of hard, steady leadership that only America can provide," Clinton said.
I love this line of attack on Trump, qualifications. He of course is going to come back and start screaming BENGHAZI! EMAILS! But everyone has heard that propaganda before and it’s not going to be too effective.
But if the Clinton campaign keeps pushing on Trump’s qualifications, the press will start pushing him. He then is going to go into his big deals, best deals, great businessman routine. Which brings it right back to “show us your taxes and prove you’re a great businessman”.
I have not been happy with the weak campaign the Secretary has run so far, but if calling Trump out on his qualifications which will bring us back to Trump’s taxes, is what we get to see up to election day, I’m going to be much less nervous.
